The Reviews are In!

Nancy Krulik must reign as the queen of early chapter books." Morristown Festival of Books 2015 program notes.

“What Ms. Frizzle did for science and technology in the Magic School Bus books, Ms. Frogbottom is doing for geography in this new chapter book series…” A Kirkus Choice for the Hottest Summer Reads of 2021
Picture
"With its promising high concept and laced with plenty of wry humor, this series opener has broad appeal—a good choice for reluctant readers." --Kirkus
Picture
"This quirky new chapter book series is fast-paced and full of Amelia Bedelia–style gags. Moran’s black-and-white cartoon drawings add to the humor and appeal. Java is an endearingly naive and enthusiastic character, and Logan is believable as a frustrated kid trying to keep his cousin’s robot nature a secret. VERDICT This entertaining new series will appeal to fans of funny stories and robots." School Library Journal
Picture
In this very funny series kick-off, Krulik tackles sexist double standards and plays with fantasy tropes as the princess attempts to become one of her father's Knights of the Skround Table..." Publishers Weekly STARRED Review
Picture
"Smart, sprightly chapter book series...Short, dialogue-driven paragraphs by Krulik (the Princess Pulverizer series) are peppered with “eggs-tra” humor and chicken wordplay." Publisher's Weekly
Picture
"Krulik imbues her tale with spirit, good characterizations, and a few genuine New York gems. When she's not name-dropping fashion designers, celebs, and hot night spots, she gives glimpses of the enduring wonders of the Big Apple: the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the artsy funkiness of SoHo and the East Village, and the true kindheartedness of New Yorkers." School Library Journal
Picture
"The narrative is fast paced, the characters are vividly etched, and the descriptions of the music scene are believable. A romance with a beat and a bounce, this is a cut above the average." School Library Journal
Picture
"For readers who click with its mix of perky narration, trendy topics and hints of sexiness, this light entertainment offers many minutes of reading pleasure."
Picture
"Krulik has drawn a dark, strong heroine in Angie, who is determined not to succumb to the inevitable drudgery of an isolated manufacturing town. The author does a good job of creating the setting, mood, and action, and she doesn't skimp on characterizations in this edgy novel." School Library Journal
Picture
Magic Bone Series: "Sparky’s naïveté is just right for the audience, who will feel not only a little more clever than the puppy but also as anxious as he does that things will turn out well. Also well suited to the audience is the back matter that offers more context to some of the London sights Sparky encounters. A good choice for newly independent readers who have a taste for fantasy.." Booklist
Picture
"Krulik serves up kid-pleasing slapstick and doesn't resolve the burping dilemma, leaving plenty of opportunity for further class clowning." Publisher's Weekly
Picture
"Krulik (the Katie Kazoo Switcheroo series) treads on tried-and-true turf in the first installment of the How I Survived Middle School series, but does so credibly and affectingly. " Publisher's Weekly
Picture
"This series could be a feminine contender to rival Dav Pilkey's "Captain Underpants" series." Publisher's Weekly
